Hi Mark, Artyom,

I'm looking at the CPU_FEATURE_FLOAT128 definition introduced
in commit 64a88d5d3a ("CPU feature selection support"). Any
clue how it was supposed to be used?

Thanks,

Phil.

This should have a comment like

/*
  * Qemu is emulating the linux kernel, which will
  * trap and emulate float128 instructions.
  */
